and his daughter, "a spoilt child of 6yearS old.
The main dish on the table. when uncovered,
excited the curiosity of Miss Quick, who
either had not seen the Joint before or had
forgotten the name of it, which she now
eagerly demanded, and on being told that it
was saddle of mutton she
stood I'D and promptly announced
her intention of riding upon
it forthwith. To this preposterous recrea-
ton the parents were fain to entreat the lit
tie imp's forbearance. In vain, for she de-
claled saddles we're made to ride upon, and
to ride she was resolved. After much ado
her patient father and mother luckily sug-
gested that the obvious heat of the seat she
aSpired to and the inconvenience likely to
arise from such exercise would distress her
and spoil her new frock The difficulty
seemed surmounted and the child desisted
from further importantly, but Immediately
after perceiving the dish almost overflow
with the juice Of the mutton she cried out:
"Oh, let me put my foot in the gravy. /

The father, albeit not unused to see such
eccentric fancies, was a Titled startled at his
sweet petk desire, and exclaimed in tone
of assumed wonder and depreciation, 'My
precious love, what preposterous thing you
propose. It's quite out of the question.
Now, do be good child, and let me help
her-to some mutton" "Oh," reiterated the
little treasure, II will put my, feet in the
gravy first In vain the devoted parents
argued, threatened and coaxed; in vain
promised that the next day they would be
without a visitor, and she might then do as
she pleased. All, all in vain, for upon a
more determined opposition the sweet little
angel yelled out her wishes in such piercing
woman, addressed her husband, my dear, "

the sound of the bugle; then at $50 yards,
and finally at 100 yards. Lieut.. Brooks

LADIES TO SAIL IN YACHTS.
The Savannah Yacht Clubs Regatta on
Thursday.


Thursday will be Ladies Day with the
Savannah Yacht Club, and the fair ones
will usurp the places Of those who usually
find berth awaiting them aboard the trim
boats. Each yacht will have requisite
number of sailors, but its other ballast will
be decked in white dresses and sunbonnetS.
The club has many friends among the ladies,
and their interest in its well-being is quite
equal to that of its masculine members In
recognition OF this interest the club places
itself at the command of its fair patrons once
a year and devotes its dearest efforts TO their
entertainment
On Thursday fleet of ten yachts, divided
into two classes, viii sail over the course be-
fore the club house. and the afternoon will
be given up to the race. The prizes will be
a silver cup and silver pitcher, and the
rivalry for these badges Of merit will be far
greater than IN the usual regatta where life
and enthusiasm is lacking in proportion to
the absence of the ladies.
After the race refreshments will be served
and then hop viii begin, and if the ladies
are not sufficiently tired when they conclude
the race they can complete their exhaustion
tripping the light fantastic.

TWO HOURS In CAUCUS.
CITY COUNCILS TWENTY MINUTE
SESSION AFTERwARD.

The Garbage to Be Removed From the
City Boundaries, Provided 1t Does
Not Cost Over 500 Week-Alder-
Man Bogart's Veto Bill.-The Quaran-
antine Investigation.
It took the City Council just twenty min
utes last night to dispose of matters which
it was two hours and quarter discussing in
caucus From So'clock until 1918 the board
sat with closed doors. A few people who
felt an interest in knowing what was done
waited in the Council chamber until nearly
10 O'clock, and then left
THE SECRET CAUCUS.
Nobody outside of the board is supposed
10 know what transpires in caucus, but oc-
casionally there leaks out what was intended
TO be kept a state secret. A part of last
nights debate in caucus was in regard to
the City Smveyorship The necessity for
an assistant Surveyor has for a long time
been apparent. The board has discussed
the matter in caucus, but no action has yet
been taken.
The chief matter which the
Council had to deal with, and
for which the meeting was held was the re-
moval Of garbage from the city on Sunday.
A resolution was passed instructing the
Mayor and the Street and Lane Committee
to make such arrangement for its removal
as they may see fit, provided the cost does
not exceed 800 per week.
THE MAYORS VETO POWER.
Alderman Bogait's bill, comforting the
veto power upon the Mayor, was read and
tabled until tomorrow night. The bill gives
the Mayor the right to veto all
ordinances, and all resolutions authorizing
an expenditure of money. 1t provides that
be shall be allowed five days after the pas
sage of the ordinance or resolution TO file his
approval or dissent. The Council, however,
has the right under the bill to pass any or.
dinance or resolution over his veto by two
thirds vote of all members. There was some
discussion i'll regard to the fve-day provis-
ion, and to allow the board time to fully
consider it, the bill was laid over. 1t will
come up at the regular meeting tomorrow
night.
THE QUARANTINE INVESTIGATION.
The quarantine investigation, which was
ordered by the City Council two weeks ago
at the request of the Health Officer, will
begin this afternoon The investigating
committee is composed of the Mayor and
Aldermen Duncan, Haines and Nichols.
Fourteen witnesses have already been sum-
moned, and the investigation is expected to
occupy several days.

INSURANCE MEMS VIEWS.
Effect of the Southeastern Tari1
Associations New Measures.

Enect or the SouVneetSbeTA 1at4h
Association New Measures.
The cotton men are very much interested
in Tire action of the Southeastern Tariff As
ISOLATION in abolishing the guarantee clause
in cotton insurance policies. The MORN
ING News gave yesterday an outline of
what the convention accomplished. Mr.. w.
II Daniel of Haines & Daniel, who has
| lust returned from Old Point Comfort, was
asked the object i'll doing away with the
clause.
1.-The principal reason" he replied, lis
that it did not work satisfactorily. IL was
all right if the assured had his own ware
house, but in the case of one who rented a
warehouse and re-rented storage, it
was not. Suppose the house had
capacity of 1900 bales and
was subrented to four different receivers of
cotton. The warehouseman could not guar
antee that not more than 900 bales would
be stored, nor could any of the others, so,
although the condition of each would be
such as to make the clause applicable, none
of them could avail themselves of it. Then,
in the case of the owner of the warehouse,
though he could Guarantee how much cot
ton could be stored, he was always anxious
lest the limit should be exceeded and his
policy forfeited
"Will the rates there be based upon the
"tutnOuSt Cdpicltys rtSuIoleSS Oh Tue
amount in storeg
Not exactly They will be based upon
the capacity, but with due regard for what
has been done at the request and demand of
the insurance agents toward improving the
warehouses and increasing the safety of
them by providing fire extinguishing appa-
ratus. As a rule, the rates will remain
about what they are. There will be but
few changes
What will be the effect of the resolution
regarding joint stock mutual companiesso
Il can hardly say The cause of the
resolution is this; Take the Atlanta Home
for example 1t pays a dividend to the
stockholders, and il there Is any surplus it
is or is not divided among the policy holders
at the discretion of the directors. The
Home paid dividend of 10 per cent. TO the
policy holders last year. That gives them
an advantage of 10 per cent. over companies
that do not pay dividends to policy holders
and the whole matter rests right there It
is the competition that the other companies
are trying to stop. They do not want the
joint stock mutual companies TO pay policy
dividends, because it gives them too great an
advantage, but / don't believe it can be
stopped, because it Is acharter right. 1t is
provided for in the charter and the others
will have to do business on their merit if
they have any, or do the best they can if
they have none"
